When did we start using passports? - Kristin Surak

Про це відео

Trace the history of passports to find out why we need these documents and what challenges travelers face within this system. -- Passports are not the first form of travel documents: in Ancient Egypt, travelers carried “letters of safe conduct” issued by rulers; in Han China and Tudor England, foreigners were issued travel passes. However, for much of human history, borders have been relatively fluid, and travel lacked bureaucratic requirements. So, what changed? Kristin Surak details the history of the passport system.
